♪ True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree Below dancing on air before covering me Under cotton and calicoes Over canopied apple long ago ♪ True that love and withdrawal was the weeping of me That the sound of this song must be known by the tree Must be felt for the fire to call A fretted fire but that was long ago ♪ It's not tonight I said a lie Now I blink inside Your blinding light Oh, it's not tonight You hold me tight Let a fire bright Oh, it blaze all right Oh, you're good to me Oh, you're good to me Oh, you're good to me, baby ♪ With the roar of the fire my heart moves to its feet Like the ashes of ash I saw eyes in need Settle soft in this purest snow I fell in love with the fire long ago ♪ With each love I cut loose I was never the same Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame I was fixed on your hand of gold Laying waste to my loving long ago ♪ It's not tonight I said a lie Now I blink inside Your blinding light Oh, it's not tonight You hold me tight Let a fire bright Oh, it blaze all right Oh, you're good to me Oh, you're good to me Oh, you're good to me, baby ♪ So in order I stood as you licked off the rain Though I've handled the wood I still worship the flame Long as amber of ember glows All the wood that I'd loved is long ago ♪ It's not tonight I said a lie Now I blink inside Your blinding light Oh, it's not tonight You hold me tight Let a fire bright Oh, it blaze all right Oh, you're good to me Oh, you're good to me Oh, my, you're good to me Oh, you're good to me You're good to me Oh, my, you're good to me, baby ♪
